The Bulldog Bark
November 7, 2025
We love having visitors join our students for lunch, however we must ensure we are following the state guidelines for food. Visitors are not permitted to bring outside food into the school cafeteria. Thank you for understanding.
LJES is looking for a School Designated Guest Teacher (permanent substitute). This individual would mainly work at LJES, but if no sub were needed in our building that day, would be shared with other schools who are short staffed. If you or someone you know is interested, you can apply at the Bullitt County School website.
We hate having to turn family away from awards ceremonies and other family events during the school day, but student safety is our first priority.
What does this mean?
A Title I school is a public school receiving federal funding through the Title I, Part A program of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. These funds are allocated to schools with a high percentage of students from low-income families to help raise academic achievement for all students, particularly those at risk of failing to meet state standards.
How does LJES use Title 1 funds?
Title I funds supplement, rather than replace, state and local funding and can be used for various activities, such as hiring more teachers, providing additional instructional supplies, implementing after-school programs, or supporting parental involvement.
Here at LJES, we use our funding to:
- pay for half of the school librarian
- hire an additional staff member to work with small groups throughout the school day
- purchase technology that accompanies our Reading and Math curriculum to enable teachers to plan and meet individual needs
- pay for staff to receive training to further their teaching skills and knowledge
